I would not recommend a humidifier, I do not think humidifier is the best option. Only in the case of Nightanoles premise did I or would I recommend a humidifier. In Nightanoles question, I took it as he wants to humidify the entire room. (well thats what he said). In that specific case, I...

So, that's a bad sales tactic. As a business owner, seeing the way some people in this industry behave publicly while representing their business in the same breath is appalling. As is the way they are defended on a pedestal, for things that go right, propped up for things they SHOULD being...

I run a small business producing feeder insects for local breeders, pet stores, and occasional online sales. I'm looking to expand into some insect species that are not typically found in pet stores. The chameleon community seems to use a very wide variety, so I'm coming to you guys to see what...

I collected some ludwigia from a friend's pond. It was really dark red because it grew in the shallow water by the bank. When I put it in my tank, only the upper 1/4 of the plant had reddish leaves, all the rest were green. Pretty cool to see how it responded to change in environment. Anyway I...

That bag of Reptibark came with my new python enclosure. I don't even use it for her. Scratches up her belly scales and leaves it red. I thought chameleons needed open air flow? But yeah the orchid potting mix had some bark mixed in it. There's also fine coconut substrate on the top to help...

Cri - color rendering idex - is basically a scale of how "true" to natural light that bulb/ led will make colors appear to our eyes. Typically a higher cri is going to have higher strength waves on the red end of the spectrum. The stronger reds is a bonus on higher cri but for me personally, 80...

I'm not trying to be harsh here, and I haven't read the other comments, but this girl has MBD. I dont want to hurt any feelings, but if you were only using a deep dome with a single UVB on top of the screen this was probably the largest contributing factor outside of using the calcium on the...

Do you have a Solarmeter? I just got one and I am using it to help me decide which bulbs I like best for my setup. It's like oddly expensive, but it giving me huge piece of mind to know exactly the UVB index that is making it through at various levels and spots in the enclosure. This podcast...

Before reading: keep in mind that that the chameleon is in a condition, specified below, that may or may not justify the unusual conditions. I also must stress that I cannot go to the vet for financial, location, and age reasons. Type: Female Veiled chameleon, about a year to a year and a half...

I would be more inclined to raise the bulb off the cage top. They often go up and hang under the light and can burn their bellies. You won't know how much damage for a long time. What might appear normal might be quite dead and suddenly a big chunk of casque or scales will fall off. Look...

Please see my notes in red and care sheets posted below. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Deku is a veiled chameleon , male, not exactly sure, got him about 2 weeks ago from Petco who said they had him for about 2 weeks before that. He’s still very small. Handling - At least once a day if not...

Yes, I’d like to apologize on behalf of America for all the crap we put out there on TV, it gets pretty bad! That’s why things like Netflix and Hulu have gotten so popular so fast... Yes, All “reality” TV in America is 100% scripted and fake. Everyone knows it but no one really says it, prob...

D3 needs only be given every 2 weeks. Amount? The amount you would put on 8 crickets give or take, not really an exact measurement. 1. Syringe feeding is hard. If you find a better way other than just getting her to gape please share 2. The poop wont be clean till shes eating and drinking...

Hey, I am sorry that your buddy is not doing well. I see alot of people have chimed in with good advice, I agree you should Replace the lights if you haven't yet, 10 months seems a bit long, I've always heard you need to get new bulbs at 6 months. I recently had to replace a uvb after just 4...

THANKS GOES OUT TO KING GOODMAN FOR ADVICE TO ENCLOSE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION. KUDOS TO YOU, SIR! Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Veiled Chameleon, Male, Unsure (rescue). 8 months Handling - How often do you...

i feed him dubias, supers, phoenix worms, black soldier flies, and hornworms. i gut load with a mix that my reptile shop makes. i dust all the feeders with Repashy Calcium Plus every time. I scaled down my feeding to every other day, so could it be a hunger thing? I use 60/40 organic soil with...

That clip could have been better explained on the show. They caught a ton of backlash over it on fb and explained on fb what should have been discussed when that clip aired though I can't seem to find the post now. They said Dewey does have a full enclosure setup with mist king but was a little...

I use a kitchen scale i got from amazon to see how much my reptiles grow each week, super easy.

Don’t handle him daily unless he wants it (comes over and tries to climb on you, not when he’s all colorful-that means he’s pissed). Always reward handling with his favorite feeder, going to a free range set up, going outside (when warm enough), etc. Waxworms should only be fed as treats. Try...

Thank you for writing so much. I have a new Arcadia 6% bulb and will swap it in now. I was under the impression those lasted longer and only needed replacing once per year, but better safe than sorry! And as far as I'm aware the coccidia was the main culprit only once, but he might have had it...
